Sykes Cottages Reviews
- “Absolutely fantastic stay.” The property is perfectly situated close to numerous beautiful beaches and is only a short drive to Stornoway. The property has everything you need, is beautifully decorated and well kept. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be returning.
- “A very comfortable property which is in a quiet position and with far reaching views that take in the Butt of Lewis Lighthouse and the Atlantic Ocean. It was a great base to explore the north of the island and the ‘westside’, with its great beaches. The cottage is very comfortable and cosy, especially the downstairs bedroom, this room was so useful with an ensuite.We look forward to returning in the future.
- This is a lovely cottage with great views across the moor and over to the sea.Handy for the North part of the island where there are fantastic beaches and good cafes. The front garden is entirely enclosed which is great for dogs or to keep young children safe. A nice welcome pack provided.

Booking.com Reviews
Amazing! Would stay again! The house was perfect with lots of charm and character. The kitchen has all you need and more. The location was ideal with plenty of places to eat. We enjoyed watching the lambs running around the croft across the road. The Wi-Fi was great and there was good phone reception in the area.
A wonderful and cozy place! We felt very comfortable and would like to come back. Everything was well thought out. The view of the horizon was different every minute. It is a really cozy house for any weather.

Airbnb Reviews
- Beautiful detached house in the north of the island of Lewis, easily accessible from Stornoway by car. The stay experience was great thanks to the excellent level of cleanliness and the presence of a fully equipped kitchen.
- We stayed for two weeks and had the most fantastic stay: the cottage has everything and more that could have been expected. The host gave us the most warmest of welcomes equaled only by the spectacular location: the sunrises across Ness Port beach are stunning with myself and the dogs often having the beach to ourselves. The cottage is peaceful, spotlessly clean with views out to the Atlantic which are unrivalled. I can’t give enough praise for such a beautiful cottage and for the most wonderful stay.
